My apologies to those who will find this topic too advocacy-related, but
this issue has been the subject of hot debate these days on the Gentoo
developer mailing list.

Someone in be.comp.os.linux posted the following URL - well, actually,
the long URL, and I have taken the liberty of shortening it via
TinyURL - and as I was already witness to the debate on the Gentoo
mailinglists [*], I took out the opportunity of giving you guys the
heads-up.

I'm setting the follow-up to both groups so as to prevent newsreaders
from inadvertently setting a follow-up first and then cutting off the
other group later.

I forgot the footnote. What I meant to add was that the lists are
mirrored on Usenet - at least, via Eternal-September, and possibly
other news gateways as well. The groups are...

linux.gentoo.dev
linux.gentoo.user

It is important to realize that these are just archived mailinglists,
not newsgroups, and that they are moderated.

... Which my KNode obviously doesn't seem to honor, as it had already
snipped alt.os.linux.ubuntu from the Followup-To as soon as I
hit "reply" on my own article.
